After the reading of the minutes by the Secretary yesterday morning, the piano warbled under the guidance of Miss Jessie Rich; after which half an hour was spent by.some of the teachers in jawing about the exhibit of the different schools.

After many resolves and amendments, and amendments to amendments anu resolves, the whole matter was laid on the table, quiet was restored and the regular busines: taken up. Miss Maggie Riley read an essay on the subject of teaching elementary grammar, Miss Riley is one of Gras: Valley’s best teachers and she. write her thoughts upon that subject ar upon all others in good, plain English she teaches as she writes.

He drilled ur in spelling, but very few of the teachers misspelled words. Mr. Hedden’: exercise was very interesting. His methods of teaching spelling wer well illustrated, clearly explained, and to us very impressive. in a Comstock Mine. The gong rang before Mr. H. had — finished and recess was declared, after which the B’s were changed off. _We went into the next room and Mis: bastopol gave us ar exercise in mental arithmetic that was refreshing. Miss McNicholls understands her business. Her plan ot teaching arithmetic is not a German, French or any other foreign business. It is just straight-forward, American work, rapid and correct. No person can remain an hour in her class without being benefited. We got hungry, and asked a neighbor for a cracker before the exercise was over. That was not the teacher’s fault, but the fault ofthe talkative members of the class who kept interrupting her.

Introduction of a Nevada City Invention L, A. Pelton, inventor of the celerated hurdy wheel bearing his name, ‘eturned day before yesterday irom u .rip to the Comstock. While there he made arrangements yor introducing his wheels into use at che Consolidated California and Virsinia mine for purposes of hoisting ana inilling, in place of the steam power now in use. The latter is qtite.expensive, wood costing, at that place $15 u cord and engineers’ wages being very nigh, To furnish the -power for. the machinery, four, of the:Pelton wheels each eleven feet ‘in diameter and weighing about4,500 pounds will be used. The shaft is 2,000 feet deep. Une of the wheels will be placed at its surface, a second at a depth of 500 1eet, a third at a depth of 1,500 feet and a fourth at the bottom of the shaft, or 2,000 feet below the surface. the water which propels the surface wheel will have a fall of 500 feet, then pass on down fio.n one wheelts the other, and after doing service for the lowest one pass off through the Sutro tunnel. From three to four million gallons of water will thus be used each day. The power will be transmitteu trom one wheel to another by a serie of wire rope belts. Each wheel has u vapacity of 250 worse power, and the connections will give ‘the surface wheel,to the shaft of which the mach inery is attached,one thousand horse power. The wheels that go into the shaft will be made in two parts each, ana attended, they have the’‘same subjects, talked about by the same teachers in the same way, as Jo we of;the Belass. So much for section work, of which we will say something later in the week. AFTERNOON SESSION, Miss Minnie Brand entertained the institute with a very pretty instrumental solo. A resolution was offered and carried to allow the Institute from 8 to 10 o’clock a, M. for the examination oi ex ibits, it being understood that during the rest of the day the room; are to be opened for the pablie to examine the same.

What a Native Concluded After Attending the Grand Parlor at ; This City. Ralph 8S. Smith, editor of the Sonoma County Times and Gazette, was one of the delegates to the N. S. G. W. Grand Parlor which so recently convened “at this city. When Mr, Smith got home he wrote this artic'e for his model weekly: ‘Few intelligent members of any fraternal order need be reminded of the underlying principles. that make it honored by ‘them and of value to them. But. the writer’s week of close association with some two hundred Native Californians has impressed upon him the -central thought that 1 akes the Native Sons of the Golden West a unique organization. ‘To keep alive the memories of the men and the days of ‘Forty Nine’? every Native Californian with more of California owe our heredity to many divergent sources. Some of the best : . a] nL “J ro -plood of our own land flows in Califor. CADET M. Suarp, Lirut. Lassweue. nian veins. The traits transmitted by the childern of Northern sires and Southern mothers are conspicuous in many of our ablest orators. The commingling of . Teutonic « solidity, or -even _ stolidity, with the physical sprightliness and mental lightness of the descendants of Spanish Jonquerors, has made a type of Calijornians’ which some of our readers will recognize with pleasure: and_ respect. The clean-cut meatal vigor of adventurous and educated _Englishmen, Scotchmen and Irishmen has left its impress on California-born chil‘dren, reared by mothers from: fair france.and sunny Italy. The blueeyed daughters of Scandinavia, coming herein the days of gold, found husbandmen of southeastern Switzer: land; and their children today are among the prosperous and progressive of our ¢itizens. “We have instanced only a few examples of the unending complexity of Californian inter-marciage. Weare not a race—we are an sila podrida of races, And it is therefore well for our-future that the common object of our general birth affords so solid a basis for fraternal feeling; 30 that it matters little to what nation our fathers or mothers once owed allegiance—our ‘birthplace was the aolden West and we are Californians! “The writer of this appeal returned from Nevada City prouder than he had ever been of the state he was born in and of the brotherhood to “whose principles he subseribes. But he reiurned also with a deeper sense of the political and moral responsibilities ot all Native Californians, whether they are or are not members of a fraternity. {f California fails to become a state prosperous in all things, if her moral and intellectual growth shall be dwarfed by considerations of seltish expediency, ifthé long contest of miner and agriculturist shall create and foster and eventually perpetuate the bit-erness of conflicting sectionalism, if the question of forest preservation and torest-renewal shall be left. until the injury done and doing shall become irreparable, if we are to do everthing ior today und nothing for tomorrow, the naine of Native Sons of the Golden West will become to the gaze of History asyaonym forshortsighted policy and misdirected energy. ‘But we hope better things for the future of California. Webelieve the power and potency of our future grealness Was never so certain as now, foe Lick telescope, the Leland Stancord Jr. University, the Cogswell trus, che interest shown by prominent meu inthe preservation of a redwood 1eserve—these and a hundred other signs prove hat the future of Califor«Ma as set in the right direction; and tbat to be uw Native Son of this Golden West—whether a member of the order or not—is to have part in a heritage that has no earthly pger.’”’ Off for an Outing. The Tidings of ‘luesday says: The
following named ladies and gentlemen left this morning jor a recreation trip into Placer county: Geo, W. Starr and wife, of Grass Valley; A. Maltinan and wife, of Nevada City; Miss Voylan, of Sacramento; Misses Jessie McCormick,. Lou Coe and Mr, Stowe, ot San Francisco. The latter named ladies and gentleman have been visiting friends here. The party will proceed to Penryn, spend a day or two, aad then go to Auburn. They will visit the Alabaster Cave near the last mentioned placs, and enjoy a good tume generally. They travel in private conveyances. ———— ~~ + — The Chinese Had To Go.

A New Ledge . Discovered. A new ledge of I good milling ore, in soine places nearly two feet thick, wi 8 discovered this week in the Nevada" County mine. It crosses the north and south ledge heretofore worked at a point near-the incline, having been discovered on the 200 foot level. A limited amount of exploration work will serve to determine its extent and value.
